After one week of using CP, I've purchased it. It has some shortcomings but it is, in my opinion, the best CRM/PIM product for Mac OS X. I agree with what 'root' says, try before you buy. Use it the full 30 day trial and see if it's great features outweigh any shortcomings for YOUR particular business purpose.

Documentation is somewhat light and you'll need to utilize the support forums for some questions. Developers are pretty active on the forums, however. As of this writing, devs are coming out with 3.6 which will supposedly feature a "Day Board" and some shortcut keys to quickly add tasks and make it more GTD-friendly for helping to get those tasks "out of your head and somewhere safe" as David Allen would say.

I use PhoneValet with my Vonage line for my home-based small business and it's probably the best $170 I've spent on software in a heck of a long time. It's comes with a small hardware adapter and the software. Can search months of call logs, conversations, whatever, it's all there.

Self-explanatory. Works great, saves the hassle of keeping the carrier's tracking page open in your browser.

Suggest adding "widget" as a tag.

Holy cow. This is an awesome app. Runs smoothly, fast video downloads. Very intuitive GUI.

Excellent app. I'd love to see it support either external players (NicePlayer) or borderless, alway-on-top mode when playing.

This+ tvrss.net = heaven.

My favorite app.
Just wish that it would save playback positions if you navigate away from vids. How about option to open in another window?? That would rock.

It does seem like a nice player. Too bad there's nothing out there worth watching.

Can you please fix the download link! Would be really great.

it seems fine to me?

9.5.3. needs some major work...it ships with a bunch of broken links in the sample channels, the channel guide never stops loading, it ships set to play all videos (so if you have a series in iTunes, you need to go through every episode and skip it before you can do anything else), and it would never quit -- I had to use Activity Monitor to Force Quit it every time. There was a fix for the channel guide in the developer's support forums, but it didn't work for me (nor for others) so I've given up. Maybe check back in a few months.

Democracy is still a relatively new app, which is being refined and polished daily.

The Channel Guide was completely reworked, and a lot of interesting content was added. You can also always propose new video feeds for inclusion in the Channel Guide in the Democracy forum. Default preloaded channels were revised as well.

Overall, a lot of severely annoying, as well as minor bugs were ironed out for 0.9.6. If you still happen to stumble upon new ones, just take a minute to report it in their bugtracker. Projects like these thrive on user generated content and feedback.

Also a lot of useful (built in srt subtitle support) and much requested features (implementation of watch folders being the most notable one) are present in 0.9.6, as the bundled Perian has been updated (it even supports mkv now) already.

Point being, should it have failed to deliver earlier on, definitely give Democracy another shot as 0.9.6 once it is released (anytime now), and help out by providing feedback if you can. Thanks already.

Not too delightful on my old iMac with only 512 MB. More RAM would definitely help, but I think it is a bit of a Ram-muncher in any case ;-)

I suppose this is the application that used to be called Democracy. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.)
I have just installed it and... it is great!
Go to the application's website and watch the screencast. It's very well done.
Miro's interface is very nice and everything is so easy to use. I specially like the search of movies in YouTube, Dailymotin and other websites inside the application.
Excellent!

@el_cravito: You are very much right. I updated the description.

This has now been rebranded as Miro.

I have been trying Miro and there are two little things that could make it even better:
1. When there are more than 20 videos in a search, it displays only the first 20. There's no way to access the other ones. (Or am I missing something?)
2. It would be nice if there was a field to insert the video URL (from those websites) and then play it.
Otherwise, it's excellent!

For some reason, today Miro is not able to search any videos from YouTube. (Yesterday it worked OK.)
I have tried with the other websites included in the search field (Google Video, Dailymotion, blip.tv, etc.) and they all work perfectly. Searching in YouTube gives no result. Nothing at all!

Today, July 21st 2007, Miro is able to search videos in YouTube again.
(I wonder what happenned the last two days...)
